I don't think these 9.8 prices are sustainable at all, this is just not a popular character. We all know speculators drive a lot of the market for books but at least with other characters, like Iron Fist, there's a bit more interest in the character. We'll see, maybe I'm wrong and in a 1-2 years the book in 9.8 and 9.6 will be selling for more than where it is now but I doubt it.
Is Ed Koch still alive? If not, he's rolling over in his grave . . .
It's a tough black cover in HG, but I'd be really tempted at $3600.
And @spreads, you if anyone knows what to do as to when to sell.
